Susan Rice: U.S. Not Facing “Existential Threats”
[Image: a9pdlw.jpg]

Not an existential threat. Not like they want to destroy us or take over the world or anything…

In a week where ISIS burns people alive, and an American woman hostage has likely been killed, where is Susan Rice’s focus? On letting more terrorists out, by closing Guantanamo.

Quote:Susan Rice pushed back on critics of President Obama’s foreign policy Friday as she unveiled the White House’s new national security strategy.

Rice, the White House’s national security adviser, said in a speech at the Brookings Institution that the nation is “stronger than we have been in a very long time” despite the bitter debates raging in Washington.

“Too often, what’s missing here in Washington is a sense of perspective. Yes, there is a lot going on. Still, while the dangers we face may be more numerous and varied, they are not of the existential nature we confronted during World War II or during the Cold War,” Rice said.

Rice mounted a defense of the administration’s foreign policy, arguing officials have made progress on closing the Guantánamo Bay detention facility. “We reduced the population at Gitmo by half and we mean to keep going.”

Let the rest of the world deal with the ISIS problem. Keep releasing terrorists from prison. Continue negotiating with Iran for implementing its nuclear program. Maintain that the US/Mexican border is secure. National Security Adviser my _ss!

Quote:"The president has two years left. Two years is plenty of time. This national security strategy is a blueprint for what we intend to get done in the next two years," she said.

Dear Lord! Just wait and see what else happens with our "national security strategy" before it is all said and done.

anything else regarding combating isis, isil, is (whatever the fk they are) is a waste of time....

It's not an existential threat until Iran gets the bomb.

She has a terrific mustache. She is fundamentally wrong on ever issue and a liar to boot. The perfect national security advisor for our atheist president.

I don't know why, I really don't and I can't figure it out, but I find her attractive even with all the liberal personality flaws.

This administration will never, ever see radical Islam as a threat. They see Israel as a greater impediment to whirled peas.

They aren't an existential threat to the U.S. They are a threat though, it seems. They may be an existential threat to Israel.

I don't think many posters here understand what an 'existential threat' is if they think she's wrong.

One of the greatest threats to the US is that Susan Rice is the National Security advisor. 04-jawdrop

Maybe not "wrong".

But certainly naive.

To be an existential threat, they have to have the ability to carry out the threats they make.

So we should wait until they have those abilities? Aren't the policies and actions to achieve those abilities sufficient reasons to recognize the threat?
